Wiggins is over rated and they're younger than we are actually. Randle is gonna be Billy D's biggest problem.

I don't like either of them.
But I'm excited to see what Walker is able to do after being on the team only a month.
Pat Young is our most overrated player in years, so I'm not banking on him doing jack against Randle.

If you make it out of the non-con with only a loss or two, I could see OM making the tourney.
UK and Florida are the only great teams.
Bama, OM, Tennessee, Arkansas, LSU, Missouri are all decent-to-good on their good days.
Just gotta win all your home games and half of the road games.

After Oregon, Dayton is the only team that really worries me on our OOC schedule.

it is still too early to mark us out for good, but I will say the last game was a big disappointment. we still have games against Wichita State, Xavier, and UCLA to come, so that RPI should hopefully get a boost over the next month.

It seems like the past 3 years UT was suppose to make noise and make the tourney. I'm losing more and more respect for Martin. He under achieved last year and is doing the same this year. Wasting a lot of talent right now. Tennessee's fault for hiring a coach that hasn't even been to the damn tourney. He's making that used car salesman they had look like a HOF coach.

SC almost beat Baylor at Baylor, so UK should have no trouble with them.

Think ya'll have a shot against the 'Boys on Friday? Seems like USC is more competitive this season. Don't know whether it's going to translate into wins and losses. The conference isn't great (again) so maybe CFM will be able to capitalize.

I like that we were competitive against Baylor on the road and had a chance to pull out the W. I wasn't as thrilled that we didn't seem to do well against Clemson on the road though. I didn't get to watch that game, but it appears we were down quite a few points from the start and ended up losing by double digits (at least from what I read after the game).

Oklahoma State will be tough at home. I think they're ranked somewhere in the Top 15 or so? Hopefully, we'll keep it close, but I'm not expecting a W. I do like what Frank Martin is doing with this team though, although I don't have any big expectations until next year (or maybe the year after). As bad as we were when he took over, it'll take a few years for him to "right the ship." I do like that he's scheduling good OOC competition.

Definitely. Not being scared to play good OOC games always helps. Hell, in this conference, it's almost a prerequisite if you want to avoid the proverbial bubble.

Too much parity in basketball to believe that we won't have trouble with them especially with our young group still so early in the season but I will admit, it made me feel a bit easier about this game after seeing your alls game. Should have a nice homecrowd for us there as the Harrison twins and Randle will have plenty of friends and family there in Texas for the game.
